Colour adjustments: Photoshop vs Lightroom

hi guys, i've been learning how use photoshop live show photography i've been working on. have photo lots of light in 1 area while rest underexposed. decided raise exposure start resulted in undesirable effect on area lots of light. did not blend , created strong outline/border effect. on other hand, when raised exposure same amount on lightroom managed blended/softened effect. there no strong whites vs magenta colour border effect. able explain why , how might able achieve on photoshop. rather work on photoshop instead of less specialised lightroom program.

 

i did quick check see if had created discussion on topic didnt find though admit dont use forums often. have inserted screenshots , can illustrate im referring to. first image photoshop, second image lightroom. both have had exposure turned +2.00 , nothing else adjusted. area referring top left of image.

 

many thanks!

 

 

raw file or jpeg? or raw file processed in lightroom , sent photoshop in processed form? there fundamental difference between raw files , rgb files, , answer depends on that. need describe in more detail do.

 

oh, , lightroom not "less specialized", in fact it's lot more specialized. lightroom raw file processor (although can handle rgb well), , normal workflow process in lightroom first, send photoshop additional work.
